The British medical guidelines and American medical guidelines are similar. It is always a good idea to use a condom to be ‘extra safe’. The Merck material shows minimal if any, Propecia (finasteride) in the male ejaculate. The following statement is made on the Propecia website: “Contact with the semen from a man being treated […]

The cause of hair loss in women is not as straight forward as it is in men, who usually follow a specific male pattern balding. Male pattern balding involves hair loss only on the front, top, and crown of the scalp. Male pattern balding spares the hair in the back and sides of the scalp, […]
Good question. First, only about 1% of the male population get erectile dysfunction from Propecia. There is no contraindication for using Viagra while on Propecia. The two medications do not have any interaction and it is safe to take them together. In fact, I recommend the use of Viagra (Cialis or Levitra) to the patients […]
Generally you should not be taking Propecia if you are going through puberty. Not because puberty is an absolute contraindication, but because DHT does impact many of the changes in your ‘adult male characteristics’. You need to discuss using this drug with your doctor and you need a good diagnosis of actual male pattern (androgenic) […]
Hair multiplication has been a hot topic in hair restoration field in the last few years and many patients with severe hair loss hope that using this technique they can get back a full head of hair without worrying about donor supply limitation. I think it would be helpful to review a recent article in […]
I would think that Propecia (finasteride) is still a good choice drug for you, as it has already proved itself in your situation. It is safe and there are no contraindications against its use — or am I missing something here? If you stop taking it, you will lose your hair all over again and […]
A transplant with fine hair will produce coverage that you have always had. The transplants bring you your hair, with all of its characteristics. Most people with fine hair have a see-through look when they at 12 years old, so a hair transplant will bring you back to the see-through appearance you had all of […]
Just the other day, a 31 year old man came to my office wanting a hair transplant using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. He had already seen 3 other doctors and I was 4th on his shopping list. I’m not knocking that — it’s a good idea to meet with more than one doctor […]
To my knowledge there is no evidence that finasteride can stunt growth. What you are talking about is theory and to look for that answer, the drug company would have had to conduct a study of people under 18, finding out if there is a different height/weight in those on the drug some years later. […]
The beauty of the FUE / FOX Procedure is the fact that there is no linear scarring or the stigmata of a hair transplant scar (the linear scar in the back of the head). The scar that occurs after a traditional strip surgery rarely exceeds 2-4 mm in height, and such a scar is easily […]
I am assuming that the hair transplant is appropriate and you are concerned about the existence of the medical problems. These problems are not contraindications for hair transplants which are performed under local anesthesia. I have my diabetic patients continue to eat and take the same medications that they would normally take. I would expect […]
Propecia is out of your system in a few days after stopping the medication. Therefore, banking your sperm is probably not needed if you are worried about retaining the medication in your sperm. If you want to conceive children while on the drug, there is no official contraindication for that, but some doctors are suggesting […]
In medicine, we always talk about the differential diagnosis of a particular problem or disease. Scars come in many flavors and we are focusing upon healing wounds with this question. Some scars stretch, some get red for a short period of time, some hold their redness for weeks (even months), others get elevated and some […]
